Sorry no pic. for this but it is still enclosed in the original plastic encasing it came in. Coat of arms and CANADA on one side, I think this was a give away with some food item cereal or coffee or perhaps a school handout not sure. Any idea of value?

I've got one too. I found a listing for it in Krause's Unusual World Coins catalog. They say it's a Royal Canadian Mint issue and has a face value of one dollar. The obverse is the Coat of Arms. They exhibit a prooflike strike and exist in silver or bronze.

What you have is a Centennial medallion handed out during June 1967 to all school children in Canada from grade 1 through 13. That would be somewhat over 4 million at the time. It had absolutely no face value. These bronze medallions were all sealed in cellophane with a centennial motif creating the seal. I recall almost everyone (including myself) immediately opened and threw away the plastic so I'd give a hefty premium to those still sealed. After I lost mine I was fortunate enough to buy one of these unopened from a friend 10 years later for a buck. I have no idea who got the sterling silver issue.

Today, one "circulated" might sell for a dollar; still sealed: $2-$5 depending on the condition of the cellophane. I'll post photos when I get a chance.

I have roughly 700 of these medallions all wrapped in original cellophane, all in mint condition. I have 500 of them in their original shipping box that has never been opened. Would be interested in selling if i could find a buyer

Launers,IMO all Confederation medallions still in cellophane are in MS (mint state) grade. From what you've shown I'd go out on a limb and say yours are all MS on the high end. The one I have (shown above) I'd grade much lower. MS60 perhaps. It's been tossed around over time and the cellophane has been breached causing the bronze to tarnish somewhat.

Maybe someone with a lot more grading experience can chirp in on what would constitute the differences between MS62 and MS65. Nevertheless, that's quite a collection you have there!

thans for your response verdigris..yes it is quite a collection. Id love to find a buyer for them..Im in montreal and there doesn't seem to be much interest here and id be well in the ground by the time I sell them all in singles on ebay....I have just sent all the info to Canadian coin and currency out of Toronto, so hopefully I might get a bite....any ideas for a sale would be greatly appreciated.....cheers...Derek
